Technology enhances biopsy work

Bedford General Hospital, which serves north and mid Bedfordshire, has installed the Mammomat NovationDR from SIEMENS MEDICAL SOLUTIONS to improve biopsy work.

The new equipment is bringing several key benefits to the hospital including: improved image quality, greater workflow efficiencies and the Mammomat Report function allows post processing to be saved as softcopy rather than hardcopy to increase security.

The new Mammomat NovationDR features a flat panel detector based on amorphous Selenium (aSe) detector technology. This technology enables a direct conversion of X-ray to digital information. The large image detector size of the NovationDR also enables imaging of a larger range of patient sizes and the system features a new paddle designed for easier and more comfortable patient positioning.
